First there is no need to copy a service to make a small modification. You can use a override file. This is what systemctl edit <service> will setup for you. Then in the override file you would just need two lines. The section header and the attribute you want to override. [Timer] RandomizedDelaySec=2h After you made the change did you do systemctl daemon-reload? You can check what is being used live with systemctl list-timers.
